Client Testimonials

Choosing a hypnotherapist is a personal decision, and hearing about other people's experiences can often help you feel more confident about taking that first step.

The comments below are genuine feedback from clients I have worked with over the years. To protect client confidentiality, all testimonials on this page have been anonymised.

“I came to Sarah with a fear of flying that had been affecting me since youth. By applying the techniques Sarah taught me, I was able to fly with much less discomfort. Thanks to her, I enjoyed my holiday without worrying about the return flight.”

“I found Sarah through doing some research into how hypnotherapy might help me with my spider phobia.  I didn't want to do something like the London Zoo offer where you spend the day on a course with the option to hold a spider at the end.  I wanted something more sustainable (with no spider holding!).  I found working with Sarah really interesting, calming and useful.  She took the time to explain how hypnotherapy works and took time to really listen to what I wanted to achieve.  Through those initial discussions we identified that, for me, what I really needed was to help prepare myself in advance and shift my thinking, rather than try and 'cure my phobia'.   She was calming and reassuring and the sessions didn't feel intense, just helpful.  What I particularly liked was the post session emails which set out everything we had practised so that I could continue at home.  Every technique was interesting, and a few stood out for me personally as really helpful.  I'd certainly recommend Sarah to others and would also recommend hypnotherapy as a way to help with a range of different situations.”

“I contacted Sarah for hypnotherapy to alleviate my fear of lab testing (blood drawing at my doctor’s office).  Hypnotherapy was not anything like I envisioned but so much more. After several sessions with her, not only was I was successfully able to conquer my fears but she taught me how to control my physiological response (fainting). I always looked forward to video chats with Sarah. She has a very calming and relaxing ability. I would recommend her to anyone struggling with anxiety related to medical testing.”

"I highly recommend Sarah, having been through a period of upheaval which caused me much anxiety, self-doubt and fear of change. She made me feel comfortable and took the time to listen and guide me through hypnosis to develop tools to cope. I feel so much happier, calmer, and confident now I can use these techniques to deal with life's ups and downs. Thank you for helping me feel strong and capable of achieving things again"

"I have just concluded a series of sessions with Sarah to address my phobia of spiders. Sarah has a very calm and welcoming demeaner, which really helped me relax into the sessions and ultimately get the most out of them. Learning various techniques, including getting to understand how to control my thoughts and feelings, has resulted in me feeling much more confident to carry on with my journey to becoming more neutral around spiders. I have achieved more than I thought through this course and would highly recommend this approach to anyone who thinks they might benefit from the practice of hypnosis - with the caveat that it does require 'homework' to get the most out of it all!"

"The sessions themselves were deeply relaxing and I was amazed at how effective they wee in helping me address the challenges I was facing. After just a few sessions, I noticed a significant improvement in my mindset and overall well-being. Not only did I feel more empowered and in control, but I also gained a new sense of calm and clarity in my everyday life. The techniques used were gently yet powerful, and the results have been lasting. If you're considering hypnotherapy, I wholeheartedly recommend giving it a try. It's been a truly transformative experience for me."

"I cannot recommend my hypnotherapy experience enough! I was very nervous and anxious from the moment I walked in, but Sarah soon made me feel at ease and in good hands. Sara was incredibly professional, warm, and understanding, taking the time to listen to my concerns and tailor the session to my needs."

"Having suffered from anxiety and stress prompted by barking dogs and other noises from neighbours for some time, I contacted Sraah in the hope that hypnotherapy might help me manage my mental state more effectively. I found Sarah to be empathetic from the start, from the introductorry phone call to the initial assessment and follow-upsessions. She took the time to understand my issues and to suggest vaarious tools and strategies I could use to manage my feelings. I was taught self-hypnosis, as well as having hypnosis in the sessions, and jave found the strategies very helpful in making me feel more in control. Essentially, despite living in a very rural location, the external noises are not going to stop, but I now feel much better able to manage my reactions to them. Thank you, Sarah, your help has made a big difference to my mental state."

"I came to Sarah for help in addressing IBS symptoms, which I had been experiencing for a number of years. Sarah is a knowledgeable practitioner, and I appreciated her evidence-based approach. Our sessions were based on equipping me with a toolkit of techniques that I can apply myself. As well as self-hypnosis techniques, we also looked at general changes I could implement in my life. As a result of our sessions, I've been able to significantly reduce my symptoms to an extent that I would never have previously thought possible. This has included periods when I've been completely symptom-free. I've also experienced a big reduction in ruminating thoughts. As a result, I feel much more empowered in my approach to symptoms. Having tried a number of complementary therapies, hypnotherapy is the only one which has worked for me. If you're on the fence as to whether to proceed, I'd wholeheartedly recommend Sarah!"

"I went to Sarah as I had a big trip coming up and I was very anxious especially about the thought of flying, it impacted my daily life and I knew I needed to tackle this. As soon as I met Sarah I felt at ease and welcomed. She listened carefully to my needs and after every session she would email me everything we talked about so I could practice at home. I am now back from my trip and had no issue with flying and even before I stepped on the plane I felt excited, which I would have never felt before. Thank you Sarah for giving me my confidence back."

While many clients have been delighted with the results of their sessions, understandably, not everyone feels comfortable sharing their experience publicly. In the past, some clients were reluctant to leave Google reviews because their names and profiles could easily be linked to the reviews through search results. Although Google has made changes to improve privacy and how profiles are displayed, many people still prefer to keep their therapy journey private. That's completely understandable, and confidentiality will always remain a priority.

There's absolutely no obligation, and I completely understand if you'd prefer to keep your therapy experience private. However, if you're happy to share your experience, even a few sentences can make a real difference to someone who is wondering whether hypnotherapy is right for them.
